If these allegations are true, that certainly warrants appropriate consequences. However, charging the reported reckless driver alone may not be the whole story. For example, was alcohol the intoxicant here? At 2:00 a.m., a lot of intoxicated drivers are coming from a local bar. If investigations show that the bar unlawfully over-served the alleged drunk driver, they, too, may have consequences to face. This could include criminal investigations, fines, or even liability for the injuries resulting from the intoxication. Maybe that doesn't apply here, or maybe authorities have already begun looking into this possibility. However, it wouldn't be unusual if there was more to this story that still needed attention.
